The UK3024 Travel London MPD replica carries the fleet number DP32  and registration number BU05 HFM.

There is a great deal to celebrate about London’s buses today. All low-floor buses are icons on the streets of London. CMNL is releasing a further London low-floor bus model.

This is UK3024 carrying Travel London colours. Travel London is part of the National Express Group and operates fleet number DP32 from its Battersea depot. It is one of 9 single door 8.8m Mini Pointer Darts introduced during 2005 on route C1 running between Victoria and High Street Kensington via Sloane Square, when they displaced Optare Solos. Route C1 has seen several re-routings over the years, and has also had several changes of operator – including an earlier period of operation by a previous incarnation of Travel London.

UK3024 carries all specifications requested by Transport for London. One of them includes the fleet number DP32 carried on the roof. It is related to the CentreComm, London Buses’ 24hr communication centre. CentreComm is currently able to communicate with individual buses, groups of buses or the entire fleet, and police officers work alongside CentreComm staff, who also have access to the London CCTV network, to improve police response times in an emergency. CentreComm staff are able to communicate directly with a driver when they see a problem on the CCTV system. This is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the gasket windows and livery application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible. The model also features excellent detailing, inside and out, including an opening engine door, showing the detailed, environmentally friendly engine. All grab rails feature inside the replica and in their correct positions. The construction method of this replica permits realistic-looking front and rear lights – in particular the front headlamp / indicator assembly whose headlamp is transparent and indicator is translucent.
